Attorney McLaughlin believes that families are often led astray by the many people and sources of special education information. Some of the toughest scenarios are when families push off meeting with an attorney after they have expelled their valuable time and strength fighting the school alone. Brian’s door is always open for case evaluation to help families use their resources and emotional energy most efficiently.

Not only does Attorney McLaughlin practice in the private sector, but he is active in the Special Education field. One program he volunteers at is Surrogate Parent Program. This program provides volunteers to serve as “surrogate parents” for children on IEP’s in DCF custody.
